Rhapsody -- the best power metal band most people have never heard of.

Their newest album Symphony of Enchanted Lands II contains narration by none other than Chris "Saruman" Lee himself, who is a big fan of there's. He also performs an amazing duet with the lead singer on a single.

I also like the goth bands Lacrimosa and Illuminate (both are German)

I have a friend who into black metal and death metal (i.e., he thinks that Metallica are pretty soft [and in many ways they are; Zeppelin can be heavier]), so Rhapsody rings a sort of bell. Cristopher Lee, huh? No kidding.

Me? Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band (saw them in concery last, and even though Warren Haynes couldn't make it, Derek Trucks is the best guitarist they've had in a decade or two, although I miss Betts), Miles Davis, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the list goes on and on. I'm sucker for rootsy stuff.

The Seatbelts? Very diverse styles, they have.


I haven't heart much from them beyond their work on Cowboy Bebop. Eclectic, are they?
